6.4.2. Individual Responsibility of Ministers

Article 75 also contains the principle of individual responsibility. Article 75(2) states that the ministers hold office during the pleasure of the President, which means that the President can

remove a minister even at a time when the CoM enjoys the confidence of the Lok Sabha. However, the President removes a minister only on the advice of the Prime Minister.
